DELICARE
Antibacterial & air-purifying fabrics DELICARE was specially developed for the care sector and stands for antibacterial and air-purifying curtain fabrics. On request, these are available with a DELICARE finish from a minimum quantity of 100 m, which remains intact even after multiple washings. Antibacterial properties: This finish has the effect of preventing bacteria from growing and decomposing when they come into contact with the fabric (antibacterial effectiveness tested according to DIN EN ISO 20743 against the following germs: Staphylococcus aureus ATTCC 6538 , Klebsiella pneumoniae ATTCC 4352). This feature keeps the decorative fabrics hygieni- cally clean for longer. Advantage: 1. bacterial load in the rooms decreases measurably. Residents are exposed to fewer airborne bacteria. The risk of infection with bacteria is reduced. 2. washing cycles can be noticeably reduced. The labour and cost expenditure for hygienic cleanliness is thus noticeably reduced. Air-purifying property: unpleasant-smelling air molecules are permanently broken down (measurement of the breakdown of formaldehyde in the room air) and converted into harmless CO 2 and water. Advantage: Odours cannot always be avoided. The air-purifying effect of the DELICARE Fabrics ensures more pleasant indoor air in which residents, staff and also visitors feel more comfortable.
Both finishes: • contribute to improved room hygiene • are wash-resistant
• lead to energy savings due to longer washing intervals and lower washing temperatures (washing is only necessary for visible soiling, hygienic washing at 72 °C is no longer required) • are permanently flame retardant
